Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) Testing & Inspection Services

Asbestos Building Inspection Services

Many homes and commercial buildings constructed before 1980 contain asbestos-containing materials. Asbestos may be found in insulation, floor tiles, ceiling materials, pipe coverings, roofing products, and other building components.

While asbestos-containing materials may not pose a risk when undisturbed, renovation, demolition, or deterioration can release fibers into the air. Professional asbestos building inspections help identify suspect materials and determine whether laboratory analysis is necessary.

A thorough asbestos inspection typically includes:

  • Visual assessment of suspect materials

  • Collection of representative samples

  • Accredited laboratory analysis

  • Detailed inspection reports

  • Recommendations for management or abatement

Property owners planning renovations should strongly consider asbestos testing before disturbing older building materials.
